Goddamn the "Andy Loves X" stuff is just always wrong. Dude doesn't love drafting fatties (though the draft pundits have been saying he does for over a decade now). He doesn't love players from BYU.

In his ENTIRE career he's drafted one player from BYU - a guard in the 5th round for the Eagles. He loved that guy so much he cut him before the end of his rookie contract. Chad Lewis was already an Eagle before Andy got there.

How much work are you really going to let Daniel Sorensen do here? Or is it the 1 game Matt Bushman played here? Or the 7 games Zayne Anderson played.

Andy has never demonstrated any particular affinity for players from BYU - it's just lazy sportswriter tripe that's somehow been spoken into fact.

It's just lazy nonsense.
